Yes. :) What you should have done is 'portmaster -o print/ghostscript9-nox11 ghostscript' which would have updated the dependency data instead of deleting it. If you remember which ports they were, just rebuild them and you should be fine. If you don't, 'portmaster --check-depends' is not without hope, and you should run it anyway just to be safe. hth, Doug -- Nothin' ever doesn't change, but nothin' changes much. -- OK Go Breadth of IT experience, and depth of knowledge in the DNS.
